Abstract:Vitamin D protects against diseases such as colon cancer, rickets, osteoporosis, depression, breast cancer, and diabetes. It regulates blood levels, improves the immune system and helps in the absorption of calcium. University of Calgary study reports 97% of Canadians are vitamin D deficient at some point of the year. I investigated whether students in my area are getting enough vitamin D from the sun.
